The family could not immediately be reached for comment on Thursday. The Trump administration has stood by Saudi Arabia’s day-to-day leader, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, even after American intelligence agencies concluded that the prince most likely ordered the killing of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a United States resident, in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in October.
